grandma Too.

Home sweet home for Michell back to The Philippines.
Beloved grandma housing in my home.

Ever since the departures of both my late grandpa and Michell, a 2-room Ho Ching HDB flat is left occupied by grandma. alone and still trying to adapt to the speedy change, grandma is ever welcomed to stay over at ours; Aunt Kathryn's (Eden Grove @ Bartley Rd) and mine (Jurong West St 81). A busy house-keeper back in her own unit by day and our beloved queen dowager by night.

i really love the idea she's keeping the 2-room HDB flat unit and sleeping over at ours whenever she wishes to; gives her the chance to travel around Singapore sight-seeing, and making her grandmotherly duties in our homes bringing warmth and wisdom with her presence. Not to mention, i can crash at her place whenever i am down and don't wish to go home. One stone kills three birds. Besides, she can finally put off the burden and duties she has been carrying in taking care for my late grandpa who had been bedridden since his operation for a heart-attacked he suffered 8 years ago. If ever a man would count his blessings, it would be my late grandpa - how faithful and loving my grandma has been to be there for him for so long a period of time, day and night, late-nights!

grandma and i would many time sit by her dining table chatting over her experiences, the past, our family, over drinks for hours. It never bore me to listen to her. In fact, it got me to have a deeper understanding of my family history and background.

i am truely blessed and proud to be their grandson, to be a part of the TOO family.

you know, i kinda think that the death of my grandpa is all God's timing, and yet it's my grandpa's work in bringing the TOOs closer together. Not listing other blessings in disguise my grandpa got under his retro flowery-designed sleeves. I know he is interceding in prayers for us all up there somewhere in his glorious mansion Jesus got for him. That explains why he didn't even speak to us in our dreams for days since his death, which kinda annoys me a little. I mean, doesn't he has anything to say to us? Not even to his beloved wife?

Having said, he's definitely looking out for us all, i'm sure.

Well, all is good. so is God. I'm just delighted grandma is sleeping over at our place, and that we can mingle with her even closer.

To end this entry with a high note - the 5km run in this late-night was great.

I deserve a good rest now...
